A powerful fire and explosions have broken out at the Russian 107th arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate in the Tver Region. The video shows what is believed to be footage of a fire, although this has not yet been officially confirmed. Recently, the ammunition depot in Toropets has been the target of attacks by Ukrainian drones several times. Unofficially, the fire was caused by fallen debris from a Ukrainian drone. The 107th arsenal was used to store various ammunition, including 122-mm rockets for the Grad MLRS and 82-mm artillery mines, and there may have been missiles as well. It is worth noting that the construction of the 107th arsenal in 2018 was overseen by Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia, General of the Army Dmitry Bulgakov. At that time, Dmitry Bulgakov said that an arsenal for storing missiles and ammunition that meets the highest world standards would be put into operation in Toropets. Currently, General of the Army Dmitry Bulgakov has been detained in a criminal case of corruption.

Footage of the use of the Russian ATGM "Kornet" against the Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle Bradley M2A2, American-made. The video was filmed in the Pokrovsky direction. Presumably, two ATGM 9M133M-2 with a tandem-cumulative warhead and a range of up to 8,000 meters were used for firing. The firing range of the ATGM "Kornet" is up to 10,000 meters. The Bradley M2A2 IFV was attacked by two ATGMs, the first exploded in front of the tracks, the second immobilized the IFV. The BRAT add-on protection and the engine softened the effects of the ATGM strike, the crew left the combat vehicle, after which mortars began to operate in the area.

 
Footage of the strike of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-51" on the 122-mm Ukrainian self-propelled howitzer "Gvozdika", made in the Soviet Union. The self-propelled howitzer 2S1 "Gvozdika" was developed in 1968 and is also used by the Russian army, the firing range of the self-propelled howitzer is up to 22,000 meters with an active-reactive projectile. The self-propelled howitzer "Gvozdika" is characterized by simplicity and reliability, the self-propelled howitzer 2S1 is used by about 40 countries. The drone strike was filmed in the Sumy region of Ukraine, as a result of the strike of the drone "Lancet", a fire started in the Ukrainian self-propelled howitzer "Gvozdika" and the ammunition exploded.

 
The Ukrainian army has published footage of an agricultural drone of an unknown model delivering a BAD.2 robot dog. Earlier, the Ukrainian army received 30 BAD.2 robot dogs produced by the British company Brit Alliance. The BAD.2 robot dogs are used by the 28th Brigade for cargo delivery and reconnaissance. The BAD.2 military robots are equipped with heat-resistant camouflage from the German company Concamo, which makes them less noticeable to thermal imagers. BAD.2 robots reach speeds of up to 15 kilometers per hour, operate within a radius of 3.5 kilometers from the operator, and have a working time of up to five hours. The cost of BAD.2 robot dogs, depending on the modification, ranges from 4 to 8 thousand euros.

 
Rare footage of the training operation of the 35-mm Oerlikon automatic cannon, Skynex air defense system, has been published in Ukraine. The Skynex air defense system was developed by the German arms company Rheinmetall in 2021. The Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 combat module fires at targets with AHEAD programmable ammunition. The cost of one AHEAD projectile is about 4,000 euros. The Skynex anti-aircraft system is equipped with an X-band radar. The firing range of the Oerlikon cannon is about 4,500 meters, it can hit targets at altitudes of up to 3,500 meters. The cost of the Skynex air defense system is about $ 91 million for 4 units, Ukraine received two of them, now there is one left.

They must be more expensive than that. That's the price of a second/third hand small family car.
 
Russian mechanics inspected and restored the Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFV produced in the USA in 2012, technical information is on the channel. The M2A2 Bradley IFV was captured in the Novosyolovka area and towed by the evacuation group. Experience in using the M2A2 Bradley IFV showed that the combat vehicle has good protection due to the use of add-on BRAT dynamic protection blocks. A Russian analogue with a similar level of protection is the BMP-3M with 4S24 dynamic protection, a link to the video is in the comments to the video. At the same time, due to its large mass, the M2A2 Bradley IFV has lower maneuverability. The M2A2 Bradley IFV has a full ammunition load, consisting of M792 high-explosive incendiary shells and M791 armor-piercing subcaliber shells. There are also cartridges for the twin 7.62 mm M240C machine gun and TOW-2B anti-tank guided missiles.

 
Footage of the strike by the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-51" on the Ukrainian radar P-19 "Dunai" near Novoukrainka. The Soviet mobile two-coordinate radar P-19 was adopted into service in 1974 and is designed to detect airborne objects at a range of up to 160 kilometers and an altitude of up to 6,000 meters. As a result of the strike by the drone "Lancet", the radar P-19 was destroyed, the crew servicing the radar was not harmed.

 
Episode of a recording of a Ukrainian soldier talking about the situation in the Kurakhovsky direction and a trip on a Ukrainian-made Kozak-7 armored vehicle. The group was hit by drones, the Kozak-7 armored vehicle was damaged, they tried to evacuate it at night using a BTS-4 tracked armored tractor, a Soviet-made vehicle developed in 1965. The soldier died in the Kurakhovsky direction during the assault. The General Staff of Ukraine called the Kurakhovsky direction the "hottest".

 
An episode of a battle in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region of Russia. The video shows an attack by FPV drones, models unknown, of the 106th Tula Airborne Division of Russia, on a column of the Ukrainian army. The column consists of an American-made Stryker armored personnel carrier, two BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles and a Soviet-made BREM-1 armored recovery vehicle. The mechanized unit of the Ukrainian army was moving towards the village of Vesyoloye. The video is shortened, the dead servicemen are cut out

 
Footage of the attack of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" on the Ukrainian tank "Leopard-2A6" of German production. The drone is controlled by the fiber-optic system "Groza-Leska", which allows it to remain invulnerable to electronic warfare. The consequences of the drone's strike on the tank are not shown, the tank itself has a protective canopy, the so-called barbecue, made of mesh. The FPV drone "Vandal" can carry a payload of 3.5 kg. The drone is controlled by a fiber-optic cable at a range of up to 20 km. The video was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia.

 
Footage has been published of a Russian Su-34 fighter bomber attack, presumably with an ODAB-1500 vacuum bomb. The video was filmed in Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. There is no official ODAB-1500 bomb, but the presence of the bomb was confirmed by Colonel General Alexei Kim in March 2024, reporting at a meeting to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on the use of such an aerial bomb. It is possible that the ODAB-1500 bomb was created in Russia in the 2000s. The first ODAB-500 bombs were produced in the 1970s by the Bazalt Federal State Unitary Enterprise, a development of the GSKB-47 design bureau. The ODAB-1500 aerial bomb is activated sequentially during combat use: first, the active substance is sprayed, and then it oxidizes in the air with ignition and subsequent detonation. Based on the data on ODAB-500, the radius of destruction of the thermobaric charge of the ODAB-1500 bomb is not less than 500 meters, with a pressure of 120 atmospheres at the epicenter of the explosion. The damaging factor of the ODAB-1500 bomb is thermal radiation and a jump in atmospheric pressure. A large area of destruction allows to reduce the cost of the ammunition by reducing the requirements for accuracy of impact.

 
The first footage has been published, although this has not been officially confirmed, of the downing of what is believed to be the new Russian S-70 Okhotnik attack UAV. The S-70 Okhotnik drone was shot down, presumably, by a Russian Su-57 aircraft at close range in the skies over Gorlovka. After that, the aircraft turned around to avoid the Ukrainian air defense zone. Usually, the S-70 drone flies in tandem with the Su-57, but we also showed a flight in tandem with the Su-30. The drone fell in the Donetsk region near Konstantinovka. Unofficially, it was reported that a technical failure occurred and the S-70 Okhotnik drone lost control, after which it was decided to destroy it. The drone was a prototype.

 
Russian mechanics have restored a Ukrainian Kirpi armored personnel carrier, made in Turkey. The Kirpi armored vehicle was abandoned by a Ukrainian unit in the Kursk region of Russia after three wheels were damaged. During its evacuation by the Russian 83rd separate guards airborne assault brigade, the armored vehicle was attacked by a Ukrainian drone. Mechanics have restored the Kirpi armored personnel carrier, which is now used by Russian units. The Turkish Kirpi 4x4 armored vehicle was developed by the BMS company in 2009, technical information about it is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. Kirpi armored personnel carriers are well-rated by military experts and receive positive feedback in the Ukrainian army. Ukraine has received about two hundred Kirpi 4x4 armored vehicles, the main purpose of which is to transport personnel. Several captured Kirpi armored vehicles are reportedly already being used by the Russian army.

 
The 47th separate mechanized brigade "Magura" of the Ukrainian army demonstrated modified American M1A1 SA Abrams tanks with new protection. On the areas of the tank not covered by the American dynamic protection ARAT, additional blocks of the Soviet dynamic protection "Contact-1" were installed. Also on the roof of the M1A1 Abrams tank, protection from drones was installed, in the form of a folding "barbecue", made in the form of a "shell", produced by the Ukrainian company Metinvest.

 
South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun said in a speech in parliament that the DPRK could send troops to Ukraine to support Russia. According to him, "Since Russia and North Korea have signed a mutual treaty similar to a military alliance, the possibility of such a deployment is very likely." In September 2023, Vladimir Putin met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Vostochny Cosmodrome, the meeting lasted more than five hours. After that, Western media reported that DPRK citizens could be recruited to participate in hostilities in Ukraine. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky also accused Pyongyang of supporting Russia. The Russian and North Korean sides deny this information.

 
Footage of an unknown model of Russian FPV drone striking a Ukrainian AMX-10RC wheeled tank, made in France, has been published. The AMX-10 RC reconnaissance armored vehicle is equipped with a 105 mm gun, and since its use in Ukraine was not very successful, the 37th Marine Brigade of Ukraine uses it as mobile artillery. As a result of the FPV drone attack, a fire started in the AMX-10 combat vehicle, which completely destroyed it.
